Is this the perfect example of artificial length?

>>376212746
No, but this is the perfect example of an artificial thread.

>>376212746
I've never played a persona game before
Other than that one fighting game
Explain why I should get this game.

>>376212746
No, every open world with collectibles is.
>Batman arkham knight
>Far cry games
>Assassin's creed games
and so on

>>376212896
Lurk into the threads already full of replies about this game then or look into the older ones in the archive. But shortly, it's just a good turn based RPG with good mechanics based around exploitng the enemies weaknesses in dungeons with semi-stealth sections. The story is weaker then the previous ones although still good and the aestethics of the menus and battle is probably the best.

>>376212746
It would be artificial if they made you go through dungeons multiple times or something. Last I checked P5 doesnt pull that shit.

>>376212746
Definitely. The game is almost twice as long as any other Persona game yet it's the least memorable of them all.

It takes fucking forever to do anything. Why have the gun shop guy give me a bag with a fucking gun in it and then make me level a stat way the fuck up just to ask him fucking why like he gave me a fucking gun.

>>376213462
Because NG+ son.

>>376213462

I wasn't even able to ask him about it until November.

>>376213327
Did you even play persona 3? Persona 3 is always 80-90 hours. And with the answer, another 20-30.

>>376212746
No, this is.

>>376213692
Not if you play the superior psp version which cuts out the filler walking.

>>376213835
Only people who haven't played any version other than Portable think Portable is anything other than a joke version of the game.

>>376213692
Persona 3 only took me 50 hours.

>>376212746
No, hat would be Bravely Default

>>376212746
Darksiders 2 was pinnacle of artificial length.

>>376213950
Naah its worth it for the implied /ss/

>>376212746

With the way it basically forces you into NG+ to max your social links whereas in Persona 4 you could do it in one run just using experience from 3? Yes.

Otherwise, the dull first half isn't artificial. It's really there. It just sucks. Be glad Mementos didn't end up being longer.

>games comes out
>/v/:"10/10 best game ever"

Like. clock. work.

>>376214489

What the fuck are you talking about, maxing all confidants was the easiest shit in this Persona. Fortune lvl7 and Temperance lvl10 are broken.

>>376214489
The fuck are you smoking? I actually managed to max all my social links in a blind run of 5 when I couldn't do that in either 3 nor 4. I mean fucking Fortune's rank 7 affinity reading makes it a joke.

>>376212746
How do you fake length

>>376212746
Bravely Default is still the best example of that.

It is a good game and most likely GOTY 2017.

Deal with it

>>376216628
Through filler.

I'm playing p4g. Level 37 on my way to mitsou. I'm fucked, huh? How do I fight him?

>>376216628
padding shit out to make them take longer than they normally would, like only letting you do one thing a day

More proof (as if we needed any) that 3d piggu were a mistake

>>376216952
The game is designed around issuing orders to your party members, not directly controlling their actions.
If you need direct control meme crutch consider playing an easier series shitter.

>>376217126
Not an argument. I never directly controller them on Portable either, the improved AI made it unnecessary. Try again shitter.

Just got to YHVHs dimension in apocalypse.
Im fucking scared, my demons blow and i barely made it through vishnu with some tactical fusing using up everything i had.
Now in the final dungeon, you cant recruit any more demons? this is fucking stupid, im really pissed. I went massacre and im going to get my ass beat so bad. What can i do? Just push on into the dungeon and hope for the best?
I should have picked Navarre as my goddess to make this easier... stupid sexy Toki

>>376217046

Shit need king frost ghoul and pixie

>>376212746
It certainly has s much faster pace than P4 or P3, I'll give it that.

>>376212746
Seems that way, I was watching a stream of this and maybe I've just grown out of JRPGs but it looks like an intolerable grind.

>>376213692
Persona 3 80 hours?
If you are slow as fuck maybe.
It's a 40-50 hours, P4G was 60-70+ and P5 90+.

It's a perfect example of a game that doesn't respect the player intelligence

Try refute me

>>376217495
I don't understand how people can be this stupid, just leave the dungeon recrut and fuse retard.
There is obviously a shiton of teleporter everywhere stop being such a faggot.

>>376218440
>Finish deadline
>week of loltests or other asinine school shit
>week of daily 3 minute cutscenes that cockblock you from doing anything at all until you unlock the next dungeon and deadline
>repeat 7 times and then throw you into last dungeon 7 days after the 7th one.

I loved the fuck out of P5 but the ending seemed to draw on forever and ultimately didn't feel that satisfying compared to 3 and 4

>>376212746
No? The game doesn't really have any filler. If anything the game is strangely too short, it speeds through the last three months of the game.

>>376219225
Haru's entire arc and dungeons was a filler.

Cut it all out.

Have akechi get the slip on them earlier dungeons.

The team has conflicts earlier until they realise how big the stakes are and them bamm same result achieved except haru and okumaru didn't need to exist

>>376218991
i dont respect your intelligence either. whatcchu gonna do

Is there anything new in NG+?

>>376219371
so how does the public opinion get turned against them, if we dont get okumura's death

>>376218993
Recruit more from the egg? Im just pissed off i cant get any more stronger stuff, have to go back to the grindstone.

>>376219507
there's optional bossfight against caroline and justine.

>>376219507
you can summon satanael

>>376212746
Artificial length would be if it was extended by something that wasn't benefiting the player
If the player throughout the game is getting more or something, whether it'd be items, social stat points, confidant points and rank ups, weapons, personas, experience, etc, than its not artificial

>>376212826
fbbp

>>376212826
/artificial thread

>>376219752
As if that actually matters, the game already proves to you how easy it is for the heads to manipulate the masses and they won't care the next day

>>376219371
No that would be Makoto or Yusuke's which are completely irrelevant beyond the single lines at the end of the dungeon hinting at other people using metaverse

>>376213603
>shitters didn't eat disgusting massive burgers every night to level their G U T S

Interesting to see how some people take the pussy ass fuckboi route.

>>376212746
The only unnecessary add on to the main story (aka ignoring side events) was the Morgana spat. It felt contrived and over the top. Like they couldn't add Haru naturally so they had to make something up in order to get them to Okamura.

>>376220978
And then Haru became a side character in her own arc because of Morgana

>>376220207
You're a retarded fucking nigger
